Takeshita Dori

From Virtual Japan

Takeshita Dori (竹下通り) (sometimes called Takeshita Street or just Takeshita) is the famous Harajuku shopping street that begins just outside of the "Takeshita Exit" of Harajuku Station on the JRYamanote Line.

The most well known (and crowded) part of Takeshita is the segment that runs between Harajuku Station and Meiji Dori. Further from the station, on the other side of Meiji Dori, Takeshita continues on for several more blocks, intersecting Cat Street, continuing on and finally ending at a perpendicular street that runs along one end of Omotesando Hills.
